A Manitoba Homegrown Patient Safety Initiative: The E.R.I.K.® October 20, 2021 The Emergency Response Information Kit (E.R.I.K.) provides important medical information about you should first responders arrive at your home during an emergency. First developed by Manitoba paramedics and seniors resource coordinators, E.R.I.K. is now maintained by Support Services to Seniors at the Dakota Community Centre. This bilingual kit is ideal for seniors, people living with chronic illnesses, those who live alone or who have caregivers, and others who have difficulty communicating. The “It’s Safe to Ask” Medication Card fits inside the E.R.I.K. The E.R.I.K is available from local Senior Resource Council and from Fire and Paramedic Stations. Call 1-800-665-6565 to find out the phone number of the Senior Resource Council nearest you. The kits used to contain paper organ and tissue donor cards, but paper cards are no longer the best way to record your donation decisions. In E.R.I.K., you will find a signupforlife.ca card with contact information and details about how to register on Manitoba’s organ and tissue donor registry. Tips for E.R.I.K. users Keep E.R.I.K on your fridge Take your “It’s Safe to Ask” medication card with you to medical and dental appointments Return it to E.R.I.K. when you get home Take a copy of E.R.I.K. with you: when you travel when you go to the hospital In an emergency, paramedics will open the kit on your fridge and know: What medications you take If you have a Health Care Directive or Living Will

He's already made quite an impression. Darby was very good, but not irreplaceable.

Erik Prince raised funding for effort to spy on Democratic, progressive, and anti-Trump GOPers Erik Prince, an ally to former President Donald Trump and the former CEO of a security firm previously named Blackwater, reportedly helped raise funding for an effort designed to surveil Democratic, progressive and anti-Trump Republican candidates head of the 2018 midterm elections. On Tuesday, February 8, The New York Times released a report consisting of documents and interviews that detailed Prince's role in the surveillance effort. Prince reportedly conducted a meeting with British spy Richard Seddon as they allegedly worked to dig up incriminating information on opposing politicians across multiple states. Since Seddon previously served as an unofficial advisor to Trump administration advisors, the report sheds light on the connection between the Trump administration and the spy effort. The report also reveals Susan Gore, founder of the right-wing organization, Wyoming Liberty Group and heir to the Gore-Tex waterproof brand, had become the main financial supporter of the effort. Per NY Times: "Mr. Prince took on the role of celebrity pitchman, according to interviews and documents, raising money for Mr. Seddon’s spying operation, which was aimed at gathering dirt that could discredit politicians and activists in several states. After Mr. Prince and Mr. Seddon met in August 2018 with Susan Gore, a Wyoming heiress to the Gore-Tex fortune, Ms. Gore became the project’s main benefactor." The group reportedly developed a plan to begin their efforts in Gore's home state of Wyoming and eventually expand to more states including Arizona and Colorado. Former Wyoming lawmaker Marti Halverson also provided the group with a shortlist of specific targets that they'd planned to surveil. Those individuals include: Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R), who is referred to as a RINO; John Cox, who previously served as the director of Wyoming's Department of Workforce Service; and Scott Talbott, the former director of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.

The biggest problem is that the biggest polluters have little to no financial incentive to change. They are all about the greatest immediate financial return to their investors and, by extension, their salaries and bonuses.

Talk is cheap. The varuous levels of government in Canada have to put their heads together and come up with a unified, asserive front to deal with these jackholes.

Quantum Theory Proves That Consciousness Moves To Another Universe After Death A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe” has stirred up the Internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Dr. Robert Lanza who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible. Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before he has been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species. But not so long ago, the scientist became involved with physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics. This explosive mixture has given birth to the new theory of biocentrism, which the professor has been preaching ever since. Biocentrism teaches that life and consciousness are fundamental to the universe. It is consciousness that creates the material universe, not the other way around. Lanza points to the structure of the universe itself, and that the laws, forces, and constants of the universe appear to be fine-tuned for life, implying intelligence existed prior to matter. He also claims that space and time are not objects or things, but rather tools of our animal understanding. Lanza says that we carry space and time around with us “like turtles with shells.” meaning that when the shell comes off (space and time), we still exist. The theory implies that death of consciousness simply does not exist. It only exists as a thought because people identify themselves with their body. They believe that the body is going to perish, sooner or later, thinking their consciousness will disappear too. If the body generates consciousness, then consciousness dies when the body dies. But if the body receives consciousness in the same way that a cable box receives satellite signals, then of course consciousness does not end at the death of the physical vehicle. In fact, consciousness exists outside of constraints of time and space. It is able to be anywhere: in the human body and outside of it. In other words, it is non-local in the same sense that quantum objects are non-local.

This is the crappy part of pro sports. Harris has done everything that was asked of him, but time and tide wait for no one. Best wishes to him in his next chapter.

As well he should.

We have enough of the core of the Cup team that we ought to be fast out of the gate. Whatever gaps there might be, we still have the draft , whoever the scouts can scare up, and then there is the free agent pool. We got this.

This New Implant Reversed Paralysis Within a Single Day. Three paralyzed patients regained the ability to walk, cycle, and even swim. For years now, researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne have been working on a groundbreaking approach to reverse paralysis in people with spinal cord injuries, by reactivating dormant neurons with electrical stimulation. The treatment has now taken a massive leap forward, thanks to new findings published in Nature Medicine in which vertebrae implants restored the ability to walk and move around in three paralyzed patients—all in just a matter of hours. “All three patients were able to stand, walk, pedal, swim and control their torso movements in just one day, after their implants were activated,” Grégoire Courtine, a neuroscientist at EPFL and senior author of the new study, said in a press release. Past versions of the implants have successfully helped paralyzed patients to some extent. But the newest versions tested in this study utilize an AI-powered software that automatically applies stimulation in specific ways based on the patient’s own injury as well as what kind of physical activity they’re looking to do. That opens up a wider range of possible movements. Each of the three patients were able to not just walk around, but also cycle around in a moving vehicle and swim in the water. All patients have to do is select a desired activity from a tablet, and a pacemaker in the abdomen will relay signals that let the implants know which neurons in what regions of the spine need to be stimulated so the legs and body can move accordingly. One of the patients, Michel Roccati, an Italian man paralyzed from a motorcycle accident, described using the implants with the aid of a walker to take his first steps forward in four years. “The first few steps were incredible—a dream come true,” he said in a press release. “I can now go up and down stairs, and I hope to be able to walk one kilometer by this spring.” A great deal more testing among a larger group of participants is needed to fully demonstrate how effective the implants are in reversing paralysis. Courtine and his colleagues will also need to improve the AI software so it’s able to treat a more diverse range of injuries as well. But so far, the fast action of the implants has changed the lives of the three patients overnight, and has enabled rapid progress in regaining muscle mass and independent movement over just a few months. The ultimate goal is to use this technology to fully rehabilitate patients so the injuries are fully healed and the implants are no longer needed. For now, things are moving in a very encouraging direction.

A new HIV vaccine is in phase one trials. But scientists aren't holding their breath just yet. Years of false starts have made hopeful researchers wary of claims that an HIV vaccine is finally here Future historians studying the 2020s may disagree about many things, but it is safe to assume all of them will agree that the COVID-19 pandemic was transformative. It has changed the way we socialize and do business, led to collective trauma and was likely a critical factor in President Joe Biden's election. When it comes to humanity's ongoing war against infectious diseases, this pandemic accelerated development of a new vaccine platform known as mRNA technology, one that scientists believe could some day be used against everything from malaria and tuberculosis to all strains of influenza. There was even an early hopeful sign with HIV vaccine research, with researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) announcing in December that an experimental mRNA vaccine had successfully treated an HIV-virus relative in mice and rhesus macaques. Now Moderna — which, along with Pfizer/BioNTech, was one of the first pharmaceutical companies to develop a successful COVID-19 vaccine — has announced that it is in phase one of a clinical trial for an HIV vaccine. Just as they did when fighting COVID-19, Moderna is using mRNA technology to develop this new vaccine. The fact that it is in phase one means that they are still very early in developing the inoculation, but are confident enough in its safety and potential effectiveness that they were willing to put experimental shots in people's arms. Nor is Moderna working alone on this: The trial, known as IAVI G002, is being conducted in partnership with the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) and is partially funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

All the UCP, CPC and PPC is fixated on is that the overt neo-Nazi platform in the US carried Trump into the White House and is sustaining the GOP in both houses. They do not give a damn about the incredible damage done to the US or the rise in anti-semitism, violence and racism or the corruption that the Trump presidency brought. The GOP is trying its damnedest to normalize the January 6th attempted coup and I am certain that many of the Canadian sympathizers fantasize about doing the same sort of thing up here. The more forcefully (and legally) the Canadian governments respond, the less chance these cretins will try it again.
